中国的土豆是只狗，土豆还是数学神童

正文翻译:
                Potato the Samoyed dog isn't just a pretty face - he's also a maths genius.

萨摩土豆不仅有张帅气的脸—他还是个数学天才。

That's the opinion of owner Lu Zesheng, anyway, who has seemingly taught the two-year-old to add, subtract, multiply and divide.

这是狗主人陆泽生（音译）的看法，不管怎样，看来他教过这只两岁大的狗加减乘除。

Mr Zesheng, from the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu, says Potato is his pride and joy and, as the video below proves, he really is sum dog.

居住在中国东部江苏省的泽生先生，说土豆是他的骄傲和快乐，而下面的视频证明它真的是会算数的狗。







Giving answers through a series of barks, Potato tackles a series of tough arithmetic questions.

通过叫声来给出答案，土豆解决了一系列有难度的数学题。

Mr Zesheng first asks him how many digits are in 10million, and Potato barks eight times to represent the correct number.
When he is asked to add 3.44 and 3.56 he correctly barks seven times.

泽生先生首先问它，10000000有多少位数字，土豆叫了八声，代表正确答案。当他问3.44加上3.56是多少，它准确地叫了7声。

And it isn't just maths he's good at - he also has an excellent memory.

它不仅仅擅长数学，它还有非常出色的记忆力。



When Mr Zesheng asks: 'What are the ten digits of the side number of China's first aircraft carrier?' the dog replies with a single bark, which according to the owner, means it's in the tens.

当泽生先生问：“中国首艘航母弦号的十位数是多少？”狗回答了一声，据主人所说，意思就是1是十位数。

And when Potato is asked, 'What is the single digit'? he barks a further six times, meaning the total is, correctly, 16.

当土豆被问到“个位数是多少？”它叫了6声，意味着总数就是，正确的，16.

Mr Zesheng says his pride and joy has also impressed neighbours by memorising mobile phone numbers and people's ages.

通过记忆手机号码和人们的年龄，泽生先生说他的骄傲和快乐（即土豆）也让邻居们印象深刻，。

Potato, despite his genius, still appreciates the doggy things in life, enjoying walks and games.

土豆，尽管它拥有如此天才，还是非常赞赏生活中属于狗狗的乐趣，喜欢散步和游戏。

1、He'll be known as chips in couple of weeks.
- Hyphen8-ed, HarlowCanYouGo, United Kingdom, 9/12/2012 16:33

几周之后它会变成土豆片。

2、Lovely dog. However, the dog couldn't add one plus one and is sadly not the mathematical genius as claimed. This is the same as the counting horse parlour trick. Each bark is prompted by the owner moving his lips. Watch closely and you will see it every time.
- Bobbo, London, United Kingdom, 9/12/2012 19:37

可爱的狗狗，但是，这只狗不能算一加一，很不幸它并不像声称的那样是数学天才。这跟会数数的马的余兴表演是一样的。每一次叫声都是被主人蠕动的嘴唇所提示的。近距离观察，你每次都看得到。

3、Your comments:I went to a country show near Norwich last month. They had a number of dogs doing exactly the same trick. The dog reacts to it's trainers reactions and mannerisms. Very easy to teach. Why is this in the news?
- Quintus, Bedford, 9/12/2012 20:15

你的评论：我上个月去看了诺维奇附近举办的一场乡村秀。他们那有许多狗做着相同的把戏。狗对训练员的反应和举止作出反应。非常容易教。为什么这还是新闻？

4、Lovely dog but it's a trick. Remember the counting horse?
- Jim Donnelly, Bangkok, Thailand, 9/12/2012 19:07

可爱的狗狗但这是一个把戏。还记得会数数的马吗？

5、A clear demonstration of the clever Hans effect. Plain and simple.
- Jess, Sydney, 9/12/2012 14:57

“聪明汉斯效应”的清楚示范。平常而简单。

6、It's the "Clever Hans" effect yet again. Google it if you're not familiar.
- JohnFrum, UK, United Kingdom, 9/12/2012 18:25

又是聪明汉斯效应。如果你不熟悉的话，谷歌一下。

7、Now................George Osborne should be really worried - if only some of these dogs went to Eton he would be out on his ear tomorrow.
- Nigdog, Norfolk, 9/12/2012 17:26

现在…………乔治·奥斯本（译注：英国财政大臣）应该真的很担心—只要一些这样的狗去到伊顿公学，他明天就要卷铺盖滚蛋了。

8、He should be a CEO of a major bank if he can count, that would be a first for someone in such a position.
- Michael Smith, Mönchengladbach, 9/12/2012 16:47

如果它能数数它应当成为一家大型银行的CEO，那将是第一次有人在这个位置上。

9、Maybe now they will understand that the horrendous cruelty involved when the Chinese skin dogs alive !
- Heather2, Swansea, United Kingdom, 9/12/2012 2:27

当这只中国狗活生生地出现，也许他们该明白可怕的虐待行为只是部分人所为！

10、I adore Samoyds, I'd love one. Trouble is, they are very vocal as a breed
- Deb, Brighton, 9/12/2012 2:35

我喜欢萨摩犬，我想养一只，问题是，作为宠物，它们是非常闹的品种。

11、So cute! Such a clever dog!
- B37H2510, Alsager, 9/12/2012 2:46

可爱极了！非常聪明的狗狗！

12、So beautiful dog !!
- rose, london, United Kingdom, 9/12/2012 3:03

很漂亮的狗狗！！

13、That is one adorable puppy!!
- MR, Berkshire, United Kingdom, 9/12/2012 3:04

这是一只可爱的小狗狗！！

14、a very handsome doggy
- bernadette keane, galway ireland, 9/12/2012 3:39

非常帅气的狗狗

15、Clever dog. Want to play fetch? Here a twig.... Now fetch...... No, you go and fetch it. Hmmm. This dog is smart!
- Jacque, bremen, Germany, 9/12/2012 3:58

聪明的狗狗。想玩接球游戏吗？这是一根树枝……现在取回来……不，你去取它。嗯……这只狗很聪明！

16、What you've done there is taught your dog to bark until you react!
- Hazel, London, 9/12/2012 4:28

你所做的就是教你的狗吠叫直到你做出反应！

17、Not bad but youtube 'the amazing skidboot' now theres a dog.
- Pink Panther, County Durham, United Kingdom, 9/12/2012 5:49

还不赖，但youtube“神奇的skidboot（一只会数数的狗的名字）”就会出现一只狗的视频。

18、Aww, dogs are just the best : ) I love reading articles like this that brighten my mood.
- Twilight Sparkle, Cantelot, 9/12/2012 6:16

哎呀，狗狗是最棒的：）我爱阅读这样的文章，能让我的心情明快起来。

19、I'd like to see it where the owner is not allowed to make any gestures or noises that stops the dog from continuing to bark.
- eugene, toronto, United Kingdom, 9/12/2012 6:21

我想看看当狗主人禁止给出任何动作或声音让狗停止吠叫时的情景。

20、Jesus Christ only a minority of people in China eat dogs--and usually it is the poor and uneducated of the older generation. Why tar everyone in China with the same brush? This guy clearly loves his pet dog. Yet some of you bitter folks in the UK have chosen to turn a lighthearted/happy story into a soapbox to vent about the Chinese (and insult him in the process). Seriously what is wrong with you people?!
- Wertyuio, Houston, United States, 9/12/2012 6:31

耶稣基督，中国只有少数人吃狗——并且通常是穷人和没有受过教育的老一代人。为什么用同样的眼光看所有的中国人？这家伙显然很爱他的宠物狗。然而你们某些英国人选择将一个明快/开心的故事变成一场就中国人进行发泄（并在过程中对其进行侮辱）的即兴演讲。说认真的，你们这些人到底是怎么回事？

21、
Haha, Potato is a great name :D
- Eleanor, Maryland, United States, 9/12/2012 6:44

哈哈，土豆是个好名气：D

22、My dog can count too! You don't believe me? Just you try taking 5 biscuits out of the tin but only giving him 4...
- Andy, Frodsham, 9/12/2012 7:07

我的狗也能数数！你不相信？那你试试从罐头里拿出5块狗饼干却只给它4块…………

23、He is beautiful. I love the Samoyed breed. And they are wonderful dogs too. Not aggressive. Wonderful name - Potato. And yes they are intelligent as well. I would love to have one. But they are big so you would need to take them for long walks and look after them well.
- Sandy Brown, London, 9/12/2012 8:30

它很漂亮。我喜欢萨摩犬。它们是很棒的狗。不爱打架。土豆，很棒的名字。并且是的，它们也很聪明。我想养一只。但它们是大型犬，所以你需要带它们进行长距离散步，并且好好地看着它。

24、I bet that man and his wife dote on that dog like crazy. Eat him? Yeah, like they would eat their own child.
- PattiFromTexas, Ft. Worth, United States, 9/12/2012 8:36

我打赌这个男人和他老婆宠这只狗都快宠疯了。吃了它？耶，就像他们会吃了自己的孩子（一样可笑）。

25、What an adorable dog, would give it a great big hug.
- Danger Mouse, Manchester UK, 9/12/2012 9:05

好可爱的狗，真想给它一个大大的拥抱。

26、Potato for chancellor. Also have you seen disco budgie on youtube. The smartest budgie in the world currently and is like our IQ 200+ people. He speaks thousands of words, can beatbox and construct songs with beatbox in them. He understands what people say to him and plays tricks on his owners.
- MikeStone, Witney, 9/12/2012 11:43

土豆可以当财政大臣。你也可能在youtube上看过迪斯科鹦鹉的视频。目前世界上最聪明的鹦鹉，就像我们智商200+的人类。它能讲上千的词汇，会B_BOX还会用B—BOX唱歌。它听得懂人们在对它说什么，还会捉弄它的主人。

27、Samoyeds are a beautiful dog. Amazing.
- Episcogal, Pittsburgh, 9/12/2012 12:38

萨摩犬是很漂亮的狗。令人惊奇。
